I can’t remember when I’ve last needed paper in an office setting. I doubt I have a printer set up on my work computers. Don’t even need to sign anything or pass contracts or doctor’s notes around.

Notebooks or hand drawn diagrams and things exist if you want them, of course.

YMMV.

In the t shirt business.

Tesla, funnily enough, is also quite subtle. As is Alfa Romeo unless you count the entire scudetto as a logo. Ferrari. McLaren. Lamborghini. There might be a pattern there.

The bark side has treats.

same watts and volts but more amps

Laws of physics: defeated.

You won’t have any of the electrical or protocol/register info or other data for any of the components unless you’re a manufacturer and most parts aren’t really salvageable separately but are essentially one big glob on the board. Even with the skills, you’d need to reverse engineer some of the most complex and hard to use components ever manufactured for consumer use and somehow fit them in places they were never meant to fit.

And yes, software. The board support for the SOC, mostly. Maybe starting off with a pinephone or something might help, but I doubt even that is open and usable enough.

Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you’re afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.

Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won’t harm you.

Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

Looks like some kind of excrement grading chart. Who on earth came up with that?

Doesn’t have to be either. Someone just had a more specific number.

TV pixels were also generally not square. And if the device was a TV and not an actual video monitor (both were used with home computers), it was a little slow and blurry. And overscan existed. There’s a lot of things that will be a bit different when you look at an emulated display.

In practice? Constantly changing hardware with soc vendors that publish nothing and device manufacturers that (have to) keep pushing out new models on a short cycle. Plus many of them have extra shenanigans to keep the bootloader locked so you can’t install a recovery (presuming you had a working one) so you could replace the os. There are some rare exceptions, but the hardware is rare and tedious and not many people can or will work on installable Linux on them.

If you just want to run some Linux userland, there’s ways to do that on top of android, though. Want to get to a Linux like system or run a program? Might be as close as installing a terminal or running adb shell.

For now. There’s huge groups of people wanting to make the world 1940 again. And even more idiots that are willing to help.

Why did the reuse old master tapes?

Money. Or the perception that there isn’t money to be gained from the replication and maintenance of the archives.

Could be worse, of course.

Always have been, always are. They’ve just realized there will be less noise if you don’t plant too many flags or draw new maps when you invade.

No. The Internet doesn’t care about some neverheard’s weight changes.

Or one gets the hose again.

I’ll mention organic maps and rimusic.

I guess you weren’t in the ring.
